I practiced this week by free handing a wolf skull from photo references. It's pretty inaccurate from a scientific point of view, but still looks cool, I guess. Total modeling time was about 2 hours. 🙂
Don't know how I missed your sketchbook before, some fantastic work here man. This last piece is amazing - it's not even finished and I'm already blown away. Keep it up!!!
This project started out as a dog study and evolved into this samurai spirit wolf. He's wearing a yin yang charm, so I decided to call him Onmyōdō, which is Japanese for "the way of yin and yang" (according to Wikipedia). Perhaps he is a wolf possessed by a shikigami or some other kind of spirit. Total modeling time was around 20 hours with lots of experimentation along the way.
